Taco Bros - Technical Thread/Mazn Build Thred

Well, that's fine. I just disagreed with this.

The only thing that's happened on this forum in regards to LED headlights, is 3 companies sold them and they all were piles of shit lasting 4-6 months, the warranty was no problem for the first set (in one case, several sets), then the seller wanted to charge a small fee for replacements since they were losing money at that point, and then a month later the company no longer responded to customers with problems.

Nobody has a good quality LED bulb out, and more to the point, there's nobody making an LED bulb work well in a halogen housing. They're only slightly less shitty than drop in HID kits.

 

$100 LEDs are $30 from the manufacturer.

So.. bear in mind when it comes to the headlight bulbs, you're not getting $100 worth of quality construction and electronics.

You're getting less than $30 worth.

 

I guess it's bare in mind.

 

I have retros but HIDs are shit. Before the ballasts went out they would flicker

 

What brand?

 

I'll take lots of pics. Plan on doing a straight comparison.

Parked truck, different bulbs. Everybody else seems to take a pic of halogen bulb output as a comparison, then installs other bulbs and moves the truck to a different area for comparison pics.

I don't understand what the fuck for.

But.. don't expect greatness. My kit is a tester and not for sale yet, but was supposed to retail for $85.

The manufacturer sells them for under $30, minus freight direct from China.

 

Also I've already seen my actual LEDs installed in a stock housing and seen pics of the output and scatter.. so that's how I know what the result will be without having installed them yet.

 

Because you know everything.

But you're still skeptical....so you're trying these ones anyway

 

More for sake of review. They were available (free testers given away because they sucked) and I took.

I don't plan on running them longer than my review period.

 

Cuz effort biotch

Lol yes.

Haha hell yeah. Looks like this place is active again.

Mine are still out... at least I think its them. Still haven't tested anything.

So I've not been interested in LED headlights at all until these came out....

BUT! I still would never run a LED not in a projector. I don't understand if that's the idea here with these... but I'm assuming you can throw them in a Mini D2.... That's why I linked the D2 version. Thoughts @Boogyman ?

Mine never flickered. But I am going to try and see if I can upgrade to something like this https://www.theretrofitsource.com/components/ballasts/d2s-matsushita-gen-v-35w.html

 

phoenix build yours?

 

those matsushitas are sick id love some

 

For a second I thought this thread couldn't get any gayer. but then I come back and its at a whole new level

 

you seem to fit in even better now

 

My hid flicker only when cold so not sure whats wrong but are fine after a few seconds

 

3m patches and grey retro rubber. do i need anything else?

 

Bitch pls... me and phoenix are competitors now

For real! Bet the warm up and everything will be so much nicer and reliable.

Especially now that you're here

 

silica packets

 

not that i can think of. do some browsing especially in the closeout section.
